(Dashboard 2 comes later, first i need to fix the current iteration so it is back to working)  
I have an issue where some of my webpage data will delete on page refresh.  
Below are the pictures of what happens. I can't seem to figure out why.  
Below the pictures is the code applicable.  
Whenever i reinitialise they come back, but a page refresh or opening the dashboard elsewhere will show the bottom image.  
A seperate system runs a seperate instance of this, and there, only Zone Voorwals is missing, the second column works just fine.

Try amending your ui templates like this -

Apologies, i had already fixed this, you are right.  
There was a visual bug where Node Red showed the button to refresh as UNTICKED on all of my nodes. Yet, on some of them, it was enabled by default, without visually showing.

I found this out by comparing the exported json between a working and a non working node:

As you can see, on a non working node it was set to false.  
On a working node however, it was NOT set to true. It just was not there at all, defaulting it to true.
